Description

"It is beautifully fragrant and complex on the nose showing yellow stone fruit, mandarin, rockmelon and toasted nut characters with subtle creamy complexity. The palate is ripe and rounded with excellent fruit weight and silky texture, brilliantly structured by bright acidity. Beautifully composed and harmonious, and very appealing throughout the palate. At its best: now to 2020." Sept 2016 Sam Kim

Complex aroma of hazelnuts, buttered toast, apricot, citrus and mealy notes. The palate has a smooth, silky, creamy texture with layers of flavours. It is refined and elegant with fine acidity and good length. A great match with lobster, scallops, pumpkin and cheddar cheese.
